The union says its members working at the airline first heard in the media about the decision to place the airline under business rescue.

The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa has said it is “shocked and dismayed” that Comair has been placed under business rescue.

“These extraordinary circumstances have completely eroded our revenue base while we are still obliged to meet fixed overhead costs. The only responsible decision is to apply for business rescue,” the airline said in a statement. “The CEO Wrenelle Stander decided to communicate to the media first, without informing employees or informing Numsa, as the only recognised trade union. Once again the leadership of Comair is insensitive to its own employees and has not considered the emotional and psychological impact of making such an announcement in the media, without engaging employees first,” the union said in a statement on Wednesday.
